If you need anything…

How many times have we said “If you need anything, really anything, please call me?” And we mean it and yet we can’t find a way to help the ones we care about.

Well, I was so happy to learn that one coach has found a way to help. Matt Hardy has been part of Clifton Park basketball for many years. Matt is the boy who was seriously injured in the crash that took the lives of two Shen students. His mom is now going to have to take an unpaid leave from her job to take care of him. So Barry McCabe, a long-time fixture in Clifton Park basketball has started a fund-raiser for this Saturday. Hardy’s Helpers will be collecting donations at the following Shenendehowa school sites:
Okte 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Skano 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM
Chango 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM
Shatekon 2:30 PM – 8:30 PM
High School West 10:30 AM – 9:00 PM

I know that everyone is busy and money is tight, but if you can spare anything this holiday season, I know how much it will mean to the family. If you can’t make it to any of these locations on Saturday, you can send a check payable to Pat Hardy and mail it to Barry McCabe, 150 Wooddale Drive, Ballston Lake, New York.

p.s. On another note, we are trying to get a pediatric cancer advocate appointed to the National Cancer Board. We have until tonight to get 25,000. Pediatric cancer is severely underfunded and the issues these children face are different from the ones adult face. So while I am imposing on your time, I hope that you will take a few minutes to sign this petition. Setting up the account takes less than a minute and your vote will mean the world for the far too many children being diagnosed with cancer.
